'O' and 'X' ring chains still need to be lubed as the rollers will wear on the bushings and have exactly the same problem as non 'o' ringThe main issue is water/rust when they are not maintainedPersonally, I see no advantage on a street bike although this kit would be worthwhile if I needed a complete set and may 'do it' in the future

For a stock 350 or 360, it is more chain then you would need. But for that monster you created Crazy, it looks like a nice setup. I would do mine just for the bling factor if I was in the market for a chain.

Those sprockets look lovely. In fact, I wouldn't mind just the sprockets in a 530 size.

I tried drilling my old countershaft sprocket, but it turned out to be a lot harder steel then the cheap bits I have. I didn't want to spend the $ for a bit that could drill it. I managed to make 2 tiny marks that are hard to see though...

Yes correct. Proper maintenance on any chain is needed (Cleaning and Lube) and will prolong the life of the chain & sprockets significantly. I cant tell you how many people come to me and say this sprocket, that sprocket and chain are garbage and at first glance I can tell they never maintained it at all hahahaha.

In my experiences the O-ring and X-ring chains out last the Heavy Duty chains when properly maintained and I feel they are a smoother and quieter ride than the heavy duty chains.
